The MFLS 2015 season is now complete with the finish of the MLS regular season today.
Thanks to everyone for participating. We hope it was fun.
As usual, we will wait one week for any last minute scoring errors to be submitted before conferring
honors on the overall Fantasy League and Prediction League winners. We will be in contact with the
winners next week. Congrats to NY Red Bulls on the Supporters Shield and to Sebastian Giovinco of
Toronto on the Golden Boot.

Brian Bliss has replaced
Frank Yallop as coach of Chicago.
All rosters with Yallop have been automatically replaced with Bliss as coach per MFLS rules.

These are the last regular season matches of
the year. Either Dallas or Red Bull will win
the Supporters Shield and home advantage
throughout the playoffs. If Red Bull beats
Chicago then Dallas would have to beat San Jose
by at least seven goals to win the shield.
Several teams in each division are in the
running for second place and a bye in the first
playoff week. Kansas City and Colorado have two
games this week. No idle teams. Share your
comments below.

should be a great finish to the Fantasy League race too.
Mohawks looked like he had it wrapped up but Phoenix surged
last week to come within striking distance. Talking about two of
the best to never win it all putting it all on the table this week.
also, Eigentor of felsenliga could still strike a blow for the small
divisions too. should be interesting to see who reigns supreme

Chicago v. Red Bull has been moved back 2 hours so that it runs concurrently with the FCD v. SJE game. This isn't particularly advantageous for Dallas. In fact, if someone gets hurt who otherwise would have been rested, it'll go down as another disadvantage they had to fight through for silverware (the other being not having an extra 3 games against expansion teams).

On the one hand, New York has the ball, on the other hand it's no guarantee they win, but if they did win by a goal, than that means FCD need to win by 8 unless they managed to tie them in Goals for which would take a minimum of 11. The tiebreaker after Goals For is Disciplinary points. Whatever the hell that means.

So, in conclusion, with a NY 1-0 win, FCD can still take the shield if they either (A) Outscore San Jose by 8, or (B) Win 11-4 and go to the 4th tiebreaker provided Red Cards count as 2 points and Yellow Cards count as 1.

Currently, FCD have one more red card than NY this year, but 13 fewer yellow cards. If for some reason, New York hit a 93rd minute bs PK to win 1-0 in Bridgeview, right as Fabian Castillo was completing his 2nd hat trick of the day to round out the scoring in an 11-4 victory roundly considered the most exciting MLS game ever...all while the Cowboys were getting their ass handed to them by the Giants; man,that would be fun telling Jesse Marsch your team lost the Supporters' Shield because they fouled too much. Sign me up for that gig.

Here's a fun fact about MLS Cup- of the last 15 MLS Cup champions, only 2 (Columbus,DCU) are currently in the Eastern Conference. Another fun fact- until Chicago gets their act together, Sporting Spork KC Wiz Wizards are the only team to win the cup as an Eastern Conference team and a Western Conference team. Chicago's lone win was as a Western Conference team (I think), so unless they go on a Cubs like run, Spork won't be the only member of that club forever.
